Philip's Marathon Pledge
Philip Branigan is one of a growing number of marathon runners that are pledging their support to NeST. Philip has basically spent the last 6 months getting himself fit enough to run half marathons in 2010 before next year making the big step up to full marathons. The events he has entered so far this year are the Bramley 20/10, Wokingham Half Marathon and Reading Half Marathon.
Philip's reasons for running for NeST are because of his 13 year old niece Emma Cope (pictured with him here) , who is already a major fundraiser, and has FSGS .If you would like to show your support for Philip then please visit his fundraising page and donate - just go to www.justgiving.com/nest-philip-branigan, or on Emma's page www.justgiving.com/emma-kidney-cope. Philip has an online training log with Fetch Everyone so that sponsors can keep track of his progress. He also has a Facebook and Twitter account which he regularly updates.
